Roth IRAs For Financial Retirement
This is entirely a feeling dependent on the facts that I have free and should be viewed as nothing more than that.
All the same, I feel I might be remiss in not pointing out the incredible value that Roth IRAs can bring to the table for savvy individuals who are intending their retirements.
There are actually advisors that straddle the fence on this particular issue and I am able to honestly see the validity of both sides.
For me, a Roth IRA is preferable to the Traditional IRA for a reason and one reason only.
I would much rather face the evil that I know and pay taxes on that money now than the evil that I don't know by paying taxes not just on the investment but also the income later.
I know what tax square bracket I am relegated to right now.
I be aware of how much I'm going to pay in taxes on the income I've labored to receive about 65% of.
I know these things in terms of what a dollar means these days and would much rather pay that price now than later when I have no idea what tax square bracket I'll be in or how much money I'll actually see of my retirement earnings.
Many point out that the laws regarding the Roth IRA could change between once in a while.
This is very true.
At a similar time the laws in regards to the 401 (k) could quite possibly change in time as well.
In the art sort of complication the IRS could release next years tax code in Greek and the normal citizen wouldn't be able to tell the gap, I for one think they already do this in the final practical joke on the people.
Bottom line is I would much rather retain the most allowable control over my money when I need that money instead of trying to write off the taxes I'll gladly pay today.
Putting the taxes off until a future time is like getting a credit card with 0% interest for 12 months.
What they don't insert the large bold print is that after the one year period or the 'honeymoon' so to speak is over that number goes up to in excess of 20%.
At there in time I have no magic crystal ball that can in anyway indicate what my tax bracket will be nor can it indicate that percentage of taxes I will owe five years from now far less 35 when retirement comes knocking on my entranceways.
The peace of mind that goes with not wondering if it will be enough after taxes is worth the inconvenience of paying taxes on those funds today.
If you are looking for quite a few even better news, try this on for size.
By not paying taxes on the final amount you are actually adding hundreds of 1,000's of dollars to your wages if you invest the full amount allowable over the course of the next 50 years.
You'll still save a huge sum of money if you only make the maximum investment over the course of the next 30 years.
Each year you add to those figures helps wildly naturally when it relates to the bottom line but if you're looking for a way to maximize retirement funds, eliminating the taxes on those funds mostly is the way to go.
